3、longer term supply-demand balance The demand-side measures are mostly preemptive. The policy of increasing land supply is an acceptable approach, in our view, to assure a balanced supply/demand in the longer run but it is clear that the near-term supply would not be impacted. The swing factor is how

40、, 2010 Hong Kong: Real Estate Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research 5 More clarity on policy A series of media reports citied different sources regarding details of future government efforts in: (1) increasing land supply; (2) subsidizing home ownership; (3) increasing the liquidity of second han
41、d HOS flats; (4) restricting speculation/investment activities in the property market; (5) tightening bank credit for property buyers, the policy direction of the HKSAR Government gradually taking shape. Most demand-side measures are preemptive On the demand side, most of the government measures ann
42、ounced so far: (1) lifting the down payment requirement for high-end properties, (2) requiring mortgage banks to stress test their prospective mortgages based on a higher interest rate scenario, and (3) limiting the debt service ratio is just preemptive, in our view, as we believe most banks are alr
43、eady implementing similar standards across their mortgage lending operations. What else could be done or is being brought up the demand side? There have been talks on taking the “property investment” of the qualifying assets of the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme of the Immigration Department or r
44、estricting foreigners from buying properties. We think the latter is extremely unlikely as this will violate the principle of free capital flow in Hong Kong and Financial Security has already denied it. This move, if true, wouldnt have a material impact on the HK property market, in my view. Regardi
45、ng the option of excluding property assets from Capital Investment Entrant Immigration Scheme, we strongly believe that many affluent mainland buyers were buying HK property assets primarily for investment or wealth diversification purpose and whether they can get a HK citizenship is a minor conside
46、ration. Not to mention they can still opt for the route of HK$6.5mn investment in financial assets to gain HK citizenship. Increasing land supply is the right strategy, but its impact is very small in the near term and not necessarily material in the long run On the supply side, the Government has f
47、ocused their efforts on increasing future land supply. Beside putting up a number of sites for public auction during the year, the Lands Department is currently looking to rezone 29.5 hectares of industrial land into residential use, according to the Hong Kong Economic Times (Sep 15). The media proj
48、ected a total 19,000 residential units could be built on these sites after making reference to the prevailing plot ratios. While 19,000 units seem many compared to one year of private residential take-up which is running at about 15,000 units/year, it is important to note that the Lands Department i
49、s just in the process of “Area Assessment” and they have not come to the stage of actual rezoning and outlying the new zoning plan yet. Another important note to underline is that these lands were mostly situated by existing industrial buildings in either private or government hands. Having the sites rezoned does not mean there will be redeve
